In the interview, Silvia shares how as a child there were many factors that impeded her ability to understand and manage her emotions which we all share:

the family habit of ‘sweeping things under the carpet’

having no words for what she was feeling – so she just brushed the feelings under the carpet

being sensitive and taking on other people and family member’s emotions

not being aware that some of the feelings she was picking up were not hers, but she just took them on and felt attached to these emotions.

In the interview, I go on to explain that without CLEAR ways of understanding the emotions as child, we often create habits of emotional drama that we still operate from as adults.

The first challenge as an adult is to see that you are operating from an emotional drama and that can be the hardest challenge – especially because we formed these habits with our families when we were very young, with people we love and well before language when we are the impacted deeply by the unconscious habits.

And at the end of the interview, I look at why we tend to be more drawn into the drama with our family members and loved ones, because we don’t know how to discern how much to “look after” those we love – and how much to let them make their own mistakes while we stand by and watch.

If you want to learn how to work with your emotions and engage with more freedom, authenticity and connection to your loved ones, you can develop these skills with the Loving Relationships Membership starting this April 2018 with me.
